Festivity honouring Virgen del Carmen in the district of Aldán.
The origin of this festival goes back to one neighbour cooking on the bank of the Umia River. It became a regular event and eventually the most important food festival in town. It takes place in the unique oak grove of Santa Lucía, where lambs are roasted slowly over an oak-wood fire, and other typical products from the region are also present. Group bookings are offered to groups of 20 people or more.
Festivities honouring "Virgen de As Neves".
This festival began to be celebrated in 1953 by a group of wine connoisseurs from the legal sector led by Bernardino Quintanilla and Érnesto Zárate. They challenged each other to find the best wine of the vintage, and that competition led to an annual contest in the political and artistic worlds, with participants like Manuel Fraga, Álvaro Cunqueiro and Ramón Cabanillas. Throughout the years, many politicians, like Charles de Gaulle, and artists, like Julio Iglesias, Juanes or Alejandro Sanz, went to Cambados for the festival. The most important event of the festivities was the appointment of King Felipe VI of Spain as a Knight of the Serene Chapter of Albariño, the association dedicated to Albariño wine. The festival kept growing all through the seventies and was promoted with national sets of stamps and envelopes. Some sporting events were also added, like the Albariño Cycling Trophy. It was declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in 1977 for its 25th anniversary, and in 1990 it was awarded international status. The regulatory committee of the Denomination of Origin Rías Baixas was established in 1988, which organises the festival every year in collaboration with the Council.

This event has been celebrated on the first Sunday of August since 1961 and it was declared an International Festival of Tourist Interest in 2002. It marks the Norman incursions that took place in Galicia in the 12th century, as they came looking for treasures from Compostela and had confrontations with the locals. People gather on the shores and the bridge where the estuary of Arousa merges with the Ulla River. Over the course of the morning the town is filled with thousands of tourists who come to witness the arrival of a Viking longship, just like it happened about a thousand years ago. The ruins of the medieval defensive towers Torres del Oeste become the target of about thirty northern barbarians with horned helmets, who disembark yelling out their most ferocious battle cries. The armed battle for the defence of the towers is the focus at noon, and the festivities continue for the rest of the day with cultural events, folklore music and dances, a medieval market, mussel and red wine tastings, and rural meals. On this day the streets and promenade of Catoira are full of Vikings and visitors enjoying the festival.
